Tiffany-style lamps used to be just the domain of the rich and they were, in fact, symbols of wealth. These days, however, these lamps are found in the homes of the middle class as exquisite decorations.
Original Tiffany Lamps
Louis Comfort Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co., made the first Tiffany lamp in 1899. Tiffany had developed a technique of creating stained glass. He created his lamps with stained glass that were formed then into mosaics. Tiffany's first customers were rich families who desire great decoration pieces for their homes. Production was at its peak from 1895 to 1920.
Today, however, you can find many of them Tiffany-style lamps, which are essentially knock offs of the same, very expensive, genuine Tiffany lamps.
Tiffany-Style Lamps
Tiffany-style lamps are by no means cheap. They are, in fact, expensive. But the real Tiffany lamps, however, are VERY EXPENSIVE. Some of the original Tiffany lamps that were made in the 1890s are now selling for as much as $8 million - and that doesn't include the cost of having your Tiffany lamp authenticated by an antique dealer.
If you are trained in the different design movements, you can easily spot an original Tiffany from a Tiffany-style lamp by the modern-day design. If you have an untrained eye, however, you should better protect your investment by having it authenticated.
All Over The House And The Office
Tiffany-style lamps can be place anywhere in your home. The smaller lamps can be used to decorate your desk while the larger floor lamps can be used to light up a room in your room. Still, some lamps could be used to accent a formal dining room.
The impact of Tiffany-style lamps in the world is enormous, hence, many companies are producing these types of lamps. As if it wasn't enough, they are even considered by some quarters as one of America's greatest contributions to the world.
Tiffany-style lamps do not deviate so much from the original Tiffany lamps. They are still small-to-medium in size and they come in a variety of colors, color schemes and styles to match your tastes and complement the rest of your house or office. There is practically no limit to the creativity that has gone to the design of Tiffany-style lamps. They may make-up the mood of a room with their designs.
Choosing A Tiffany-Style Lamp
For their sheer beauty, it won't be easy to choose a Tiffany-style lamp. That there are so many Tiffany-style lamps in different designs doesn't really help. But choose the lamp that best attributes your whole room.
Tiffany-style lamps work best with excellent designed rooms because these create a relaxed and romantic ambience. The light that comes from them is soft and sensual too. When buying a lamp, be prepared to shell out your money. A tiffany-style mini-lamp can cost $66.95. Lamps in other shapes and sizes can cost several hundred dollars although there are some bargains that you can find out on the Internet.
In any case, a thing of beauty is always worth the price that you pay for.
